In shape Nicole Kidman

The heavily pregnant actress is set to start filming 'Nine' - based on the stage musical of the same name - after she has the baby and director Rob Marshall says she is relieved other big names in the cast will help take the spotlight off her.

Rob - who won an Oscar for directing 'Chicago' - said: "Nicole is in incredible shape. Have you seen her? There's hardly a bump.

"She loves the idea of doing this. It's kind of nice that she doesn't have to carry the entire movie on her shoulders."
